Arik updated

Update on Arik: We got all his tests back and...nothing. His echo on his heart came back great. His CT scan showed that his Spleen is enlarged but that could be from a number of things.

His doctor talked to him today and asked how he was doing. Arik has not had any fevers in the last two days. The doctor said to have Arik check his temperature any time he starts to feel really crappy and monitor it. He also said that Arik's body might finally be fighting off whatever he had. Seen he has had fevers for the past month, the doc said that Arik will probably not feel good for a while still since his body has had to battle the fevers for so long.

If the fevers come back there is other tests that they can run but Arik is hoping he is on the down hill.

Because of the spleen Arik can't do anything extreme,so no skiing :(, basketball, or anything that can cause the spleen to rupture. So now we are just waiting again to see if Arik's body can beat this thing on its own.

We are so grateful for all the prayers and fasts and everything people have done for us. I do not think that it is a coincidence that Arik is starting to feel a little better around the time that everyone found out and really started the prayers and fasts. We will keep everyone updated on what is going on if anything or when anything changes.

I'm so glad that he seems to be alright. I was praying for your family. He really hears our prayers!
